Set in the reign of King John, when the whole of England was under sentence of excommunication (among other issues, King John wouldn't accept the Pope's choice of Archbishop). Can you imagine the chaos - all the churches closed, King John in retaliation arresting every priest who hadn't fled and the people terrified of dying in sin without the last rites? No burials were p...more

this is probably the best book i have ever read that is narrated entirely by a mandrake.

let's take a moment to celebrate the mandrake, shall we? a humanlike plant brought to life by the spilled semen of hanged men which screams when it is pulled from the ground, but will continue to live and grant you magical abilities if you treat it right? coolest thing ever, and a childhood fascination of mine - i always wanted one for a pet, but noooooo, we had to have a dog. damn traditional family...

I wasn't as riveted by The Gallows Curse as I was by Karen Maitland's first book, Company of Liars. Part of that was the fact that I've been writing essays, and I haven't had a gallstone attack that could just keep me up all night with nothing to do but read! And part of it is my reluctance to end up with no more of her stuff to read...

Like Company of Liars, it's somewhat slow paced, based on a build up of tension that really works for me and might infuriate other readers. I like Karen Maitland'...more

This was a rollicking, medieval soap opera that I thoroughly enjoyed.

A warning to you menfolk - while the book is crammed with strong female characters, the guys tend to be either conniving bastards or lily-livered wusses who do everything Mommy tells them...even if it's abstaining from sex.

My favorite exchange occurs when a crusty old battle-ax is fearful that some of the king's men may have their way with her. She is told, rather impolitely, by one "gentleman," "You can sleep soundly, mistres...more

Having loved and reviewed Karen Maitland’s previous two books, Company of Liars and The Owl Killers, I was expecting great things from The Gallows Curse. I was not at all disappointed.
Set against the backdrop of Pope Innocent III’s Interdict imposed on England in 1208, after King John refused to accept the pope’s appointee, Stephen Langton, as Archbishop of Canterbury, The Gallows Curse is a dark and complex historical mystery.
The cast of characters is diverse, yet linked by many invisible ties....more

The plot was overcooked.

Added to that were hideous deeds done during the crusades, plus a castrato who was there just to add period colour as far as I could see....more

Maitland creates a dark world of superstition and religious fervor which seemed to me to give the authentic feel of the early Middle Ages. With England under a Papal interdict and all the churches closed and the priests either exiled or in hiding all the inhabitants, high and low, are obsessed with the fear of hell and damnation.

I discovered Karen Maitland when I read her first book, The Company of Liars, and reading her third novel, Gallows Curse, I am once again struck my the colourful, vivid writing that makes her novels stand out from others. You can literally smell the brothel, touch the food, see the hair ornaments twinkle…

In her first two novels Company of Liars and The Owl Killers she took us into the seamy side of the 1300's. No knights and pageantry for Ms. Maitland. No martyrs or future Popes. No farm boys turned empire builders or daughters of the squire scheming to marry up. Her heroes and heroines are the unwashed, the common folk of the period struggling legally and illegally if necessary to survive and all too susceptible to superstition and the manipulations of those in a position to do them a little bit of good. It's all a little twisty as well as dark and all the more engaging for that. Karen Maitland writes historical fiction that doesn't need royalty to fascinate.

Maitland's new novel, The Gallows Curse has a 13th century setting that has a soul satisfying mystery at its core. The background for the storyline is the six year long battle between England's' King John and Pope Innocent the III. In 1207 the Pope selected a new Archbishop of Canterbury. King John wasn't pleased by the choice so he refused to let the Archbishop enter England and then appropeated some Church lands. The Pope in turn excommunicated John and put all of England under an interdict. Essentially an interdict means that you are not allowed to recieve any Church rites: baptism, marriage, last rites, etc. Ultimately this treatment from the Church was one of the straws that broke the nobilities backs and in 1211 they forced King John to sign the Magna Carta.

Picture if you will a 13th century European country shunned by Rome. At this moment in time the Catholic Church probably had more influence and power over the average European citizen than any monarch. It was certainly more of a daily presence in the lives of the citizenry than any King would be. The absence of the Church created a perfect storm for opportunists willing to use superstition, intimidation and hell fire for their own gain. The Church was far from perfect but sometimes life is easier with the Devil you know.

In The Gallows Curse we get to wallow in 500+ pages of schemers, prophecy, secrets, treachery, history, invention and Gothic melodrama. In the middle of this entertaining mix is Elena a fifteen year old maidservant at Gastmere Manor. At first Elena feels lucky to have been given the position at Gastmere but after gaining the attention of the young lord of the manor maybe Elena's luck isn't so good after all. Soon Elena is pregnant and pursued for a crime she didn't commit. She is helped by a mysterious local woman who sees Elena's troubles as her chance to settle old scores and Raffaele, steward of the manor. Raffaele is an older man consumed by his own crimes. He is convinced that there is nothing he can do to make up for the past. That belief in his own evil brings an edge to his willingness to aid Elena, does he have his own agenda?

Maitland's bag of tricks gets a workout as she plays out Elena's and Raffaele's stories against an England that has been silenced by the Church. This is where historical events butt up against everyday lives. Betrayal, superstition, curses, fear, ignorance and suspicion fester away among the populace in The Gallows Curse. Surrounding the plotline and the tensions in the novel is the filthy, thick with foreboding atmosphere Maitland has layered into the book. Every twist of the tale brings Elena further away from safety and the reader deeper into a brutal, every day could be your last time period.

So far there is no pub date for a U.S. edition of The Gallows Curse. Her other two novels were published over here so this might just me a matter of time. My edition came from the U.K.

Raffaele is a middle-aged man, steward to Lady Anne, he has carried out horrendous crimes in his past for which he can’t forgive himself, but I believe he is a good man. And he has a soft spot for Elena.

Due to a deliberate act of well-meaning deceipt, their lives become bound forever together.

Unlike Maitland's amazing previous books, The Owl Killers and A Company of Liars, The Gallows Curse is a little predictable. The author has a great talent in creating colourful characters who you love, or hate. I found it difficult to relate to any of the main people in this book, and the characters are not as well developed, it seemed a little lazy, and reminiscent of previous books, rather than unique and imaginative.

Having said that, this is a good story. Try not to compare it, like I have, w...more

I was looking forward to this book as I'd really enjoyed Company of Liars. Sadly though, I was a little disappointed in this story, mainly I think because I couldn't really identify with the main character, Elena; I simply couldn't much care whether she survived or not.. I did quite like Raffaelle however, he was a more rounded character with a mysterious history which we only get hints of until the end of the novel.

Admittedly, the reading location - poolside in a secluded spot in the Algarve, sun splitting the trees etc - might have helped matters somewhat! Anyway, I wanted more of the same and fearing a relapse, I dived straight into Ms Maitland's recent release, The Gallow's Curse.

Set in 1210, we are immersed in the sights and sounds of England at a very peculiar time - it is the time of the Papal Interdict caused by King John's refusal to accept the papal choice for Archbishop of Canterbury. Pope Innocent banned priests from adminstering the sacraments and Christian burial was forbidden. This forces the country into a state of chaos, particularly amongst the poor for whom faith was their one saving grace.

Our female protagonist, Elena, is a young "villein" (peasant) who is tricked by her betters at the Manor. She unwittingly takes on the sins of the deceased Lord of the Manor via the ancient practice of sin-eating and what follows is a series of tragic events which cause her to sink into deeper and deeper trouble. In a country where confession is no longer available, Elena now faces eternal damnation. Raffaele, steward of the Manor, feels responsible for Elena's fate but can he save her from evil forces at work, both natural and supernatural?

As in her previous novels, the author succeeds in capturing the ambiance of medieval England complete with its own particular superstitions and folklore. As well as showing us the viccissitudes of the great unwashed, we are given a taste of the political intrigue engulfing England during the five year period of the Papal Interdict. There is an impressive supporting cast of characters including a female dwarf who runs a brothel in Norwich and two evil brothers who are determined to hunt Elena down.

Unfortunately, The Gallow's Curse failed to engage me as much as its two predecessors, The Company of Liars and The Owl Killers. I did find the historical background interesting, some of the herbal folklore was intriguing but the two main characters never really came to life for me and I didn't particularly care what fate held for them. All in all, just an okay read for me.

This is historical fiction set predominantly in the 1200s in Norfolk, England.

Set in 1210, during the time of Pope Innocent's Interdict of 1208, which rendered England spiritually desolate by closing down the churches for six years as punishment for King John’s refusal to accept Stephen Langton as Archbishop of Canterbury. The Edict removed the sacraments and Christian services including a shriven Christian burial.

The practise of, and belief in pagan myth, magic and superstition was part of everyday life and is at the centre of this tale. The book has an intriguing narrator in the shape of ‘Yadua’ the mandrake, a plant shrouded in lore and superstition who at the start of each chapter reads from the “The Mandrake’s Herbal” which tells of the various powers of herbs, animals, trees and flowers and there use in witchcraft. A nice, original touch which gives an atmosphere of foreboding throughout

The story focuses on two main characters: The lord of the manor’s middle-aged steward, Raffaelle, who has a dark past including crimes committed during the Crusades, for which he believes he is eternally dammed. And Elena, a 15-year-old serving girl, tricked into becoming a sin eater to absolve the sins of the lord of the manner. This all goes horribly wrong and leaves Elena haunted by the curse and blamed for a murder she didn’t commit. She flees her village with the aided by Raffaelle, who blames himself for the girl’s predicament.

So the reader is plunged into a medieval world of betrayal, revenge, superstition, religion and treason. As with the author’s other novels there is a collection of wonderfully drawn characters, the one that was the most interesting to me was the brothel Madam and not either of the leads…maybe that is why I didn’t fall in love with it as much as Company of Liars.

Karen Maitland is building a reputation for twisty-turney ambiguous endings and this one doesn’t disappoint…

Overall a good solid read but lacking something …maybe the ambition and sheer ingenuity of Company of Liars.

Quotes from The Gallows Curse

“They all wait impatiently for the blessed cloak of darkness to cover their wretched little deeds, but the sun will not be hurried by the whims of men.” — 8 people liked it

“Mortals are strange creatures; they cling to life even when that life is nothing but pain and misery, yet they will throw away their lives for a word, an idea, even a flag. Wolves piss to mark their territory. Smell the stench of another pack and wolves will quietly slink away. Why risk a fight when it might maim or kill you? But humans will slash and slaughter in their thousands to plant their little piece of cloth on a hill or hang it from a battlement.” — 2 people liked it
